You are cordially invited to the workshop that the National Technical
University of Athens (NTUA) is organizing, with the participation of
the European Commission on April 22nd, 1997 for information exchange
and discussion on Information Technologies for Mobility.

The purpose of this meeting is to raise the awareness of the Greek Industry
and Business on how the use of Wireless applications can help to achieve
levels of functionality that are not normally available using conventional
technology.

The thematic call I.T. for Mobility is specifically designed to bring
together the range of different contributions necessary for the
development of new solutions that will enhance mobility in the
emerging Information Society.

This thematic call is based on the objectives and scope of the Esprit
work programme (1997) and has the characteristic that proposers may
address, and are indeed encouraged to address multiple technologies
which by their combination or integration lead to enhanced mobility
solutions. Consequently, this call is expected to stimulate work,
which cuts across the Esprit programme and presents an opportunity
for innovative, multi-disciplinary R&D activities and broad co-operation
between industrial partners having complementary skills, approaches
and technologies.

The general topic of enhancing mobility (physical and virtual) cuts across
various Community activities. The "I.T. for Mobility" call addresses the
Esprit Programme contribution and provides an opportunity to channel
technologies and skills which can enhance and accelerate the realization of
the information society. In this scope, evaluation of proposals and
subsequent project follow-up will be conducted in collaboration and with
the support of other related Community R&D programmes.

In the workshop there will be presentations of success stories of the use
of Wireless technologies in industrial and business applications, in Europe
and Greece. Dr D. Broster from the European Commission will present the EC
program that will support the uptake of I.T. for Mobility in Industry.
Also, representatives from both industry and academic institutes will
present their experience in industrial and business environments.

Participation to the workshop is free. The venue will be held at the
Administration building of the National Technical University of Athens.
